Abstract
My research was focused on Deliberative Pedagogy, Data Generation Processes, and Management Constructs, with intersections among these areas.
Initially, I explored and summarised articles that experiment with deliberative pedagogy. In my notes, I included a list of their procedures, data generation methods, and learning outcomes. I then detailed these data generation processes, noting the measurement tools used, such as surveys, interviews, and reflections.
Our study is planned to be taught in a business class and hopefully published in a top management journal. Therefore, I investigated key management constructs discussed in four prominent journals: Academy of Management Learning and Education, Management Learning, Journal of Management Education, and Journal of Business Ethics. This involved analysing the frequency and discussion around these constructs in the journals, their citation counts, measurement approaches, and their links to deliberative pedagogy.
Finally, I identified and recommended five main constructs worth including in our study, each with relevant sub-constructs: (1)Leadership (with focus on humanistic approaches and self-identity),(2) Ecological Awareness, (3)Business Ethics (highlighting empathy and ethical decision-making), (4)Interpersonal Efficacy (general teamwork, listening, and inclusion), and (5)Geopolitical Awareness. These constructs were presented to my advisor as potential things to test for improvements in our study.
